Braves re-signed C/INF Blake Lalli to a minor league contract.

Lalli was outrighted off the Braves' 40-man roster last week but will remain with the organization. He's logged just 52 at-bats at the major league level in his career, and just 13 at-bats since 2013. The 33-year-old is nothing more than organizational depth. Oct 18 - 4:03 PM

Lalli, 33, batted .256/.301/.328 with one homer for Gwinnett this season. He's taking A.J. Pierzynski's spot on the roster and doesn't figure to play much as the club's third catcher. Sep 11 - 10:26 AM

Braves signed C/INF Blake Lalli to a minor league contract.

Lalli, 32, hit .260/.319/.337 with three homers at Triple-A with the Diamondbacks last season. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2013. Feb 2 - 4:20 PM

The injury isn't considered serious but with a week left in the regular season, the team isn't going to push him. Simmons holds an impressive 1.35 ERA in seven relief outings since his call-up earlier this month.

This is a long-term play by the Braves, as Lindgren was non-tendered by the Yankees following Tommy John surgery in August. The left-hander has a big arm and could be an asset for the Braves starting in 2018 if his stuff returns post-op.
